Day 21 without a cigarette!

Posted in Staying quit
schedule 6 Jun 2013

Hi all, just checking in to see how everyone is going.... its 21 day for me and things are going really well.  I am not kidding myself that I could quit with willpower alone but coping quite well on Champix.  I'm still having epic dreams that seem to be in instalments which is quite entertaining - trying to explain them to my husband is hilarious! Noticed something interesting last night - for the last few years I've had dark discolouration in the inside corners of my eyes - sort of like dark circles but not going all the way around.  Well they seem to be disappearing! Must be that extra oxygen?  I'm off to buy myself an iPod shuffle tomorrow as a reward to me - using this fortnight's savings of $150 to buy it!  Take care out there :)

Well doooone Charleegirl!!!! You are doing great!!!

Lol about the nightmares; you know... I'm almost running to go to sleep because my dreams are so entertaining too. I've never slept that good before. I used to wake up grumpy, tired, and so not fresh...now complete opposite... Getting better day after day :) all good.

You deserve this reward!!! Again congrats and keep us posted ;)

Well done, I had the same dark circles under the eyes and they are going. Well done on 21 days. Keep going.

Yay for you Charleegirl. That is awesome. I had a couple of strange nightmares that messed me up for 3 days (very vivid and scary) but then the funny dreams started (i like my boss, but no THAT much). I hear what you're saying about instalments. You can actually catch up on your dream from where you left off, if your sleep gets disturbed.

As for the rewards, keep em up. Ive been smoke free only 2 weeks and have already had photo rejuvenation and botox haha. No point quitting if i can't spoil myself (and fix my smokers skin at the same time).

Keep up the good work.
